Why? Because it's stagnant and claustrophobic. It takes the passion and beauty out of a frame.

But most importantly it's not what we see with our eyes.Editing works in film and video because it mimics what our eyes do... if you glance to your left, and then look at something different on your right, your eyelids will shut in between, creating a cut.

In broadband video, our only limitations are the limits of our cameras... and since we're mostly downrezzing (producing finished online videos that are at a lower resolution than we're shooting them at), that's really not a limitation either.

For starters, we should begin using 16x9 as a default. It's just soooo much prettier.
